There is a nice hotel, Hesperia Zubialde, next to the San Mames footballstadium, a very short way from the busstation where you arrive with the airportbus. Easy if you take the bus to Pamplona in the morning. From there you can take the bus to P la Reina. Easiest way in my opinion.

Thanks for this. I will be going the other way having walked from Arles/Avignon to Puenta la Reina in late summer and then taking the bus to Bilbao. There are great restaurants at lunchtime outside of Mames off the other side of the road. Recommended! Remember if you are a pensioner over 69 'jubilado' then you get a sizeable discount on the buses.... But only if you ask!
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

I'm doing exactly this journey on 27th April.

I plan to take the airport bus (on the right as you leave the terminal) to Bilbao Bus Station. It's the last stop.

There are buses to Pamplona every 2 hours or so, autobuslaunion, costs around €15, and takes 2 hours.

Then there's a bus to Estella which stops in Puente la Reina. This part of the journey takes 30 minutes and costs €2-3 euros.

Whariwharangi has given you all the information you need - and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you Wharwharangi, your posts are invaluable.

On my return to Bilbao on 3rd May I will take the bus from Logrono to avoid backtracking (it's actually quicker than the train though costs about the same). I will just have to work out how to get to Logrono from wherever I am, but I've already made notes of what buses pass through which towns, times, etc. My only confusion is I believe the bus from Najera/Navarrete doesn't stop at the bus station in Logrono. I am hoping someone on the bus will tell me the best stop to get off.
